Color variations

[goatsandpeacocks]

What breed other than silkies is best for playing with varieties? frizzles, naked necks, ear tuft, beards, feet, and of course COLOR! i have a chocolate satin silkie rooster and for hens i have a mille fleur colored showgirl frizzle and a normal mille fleur frizzle, a white showgirl, chocolate silkie, and a blue silkie. I think i have a good variety but all are from the same sire (i think, they’re from an hatchery so idk for sure) and inbreeding is obviously not preferable. Is every hatchery a different line? should i say no to hatcheries and go with private breeders?

With the amount of variety you have, I wouldn’t worry about inbreeding. Inbreeding is less of an issue in chickens and you can breed related chickens together. Considering yours are all different colors, I would say you’re not going to see any inbreeding effects at all. Also, with that variety I doubt they could all be from the same sire. Hatcheries don’t breed very closely in fancy varieties.
Seramas are the most variable of the breeds I can think of.
